WARNING
In order to prevent electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times!
If permanently connected this tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipment - grounding conductor.
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electri-cian. The green-colored rigid ear, plug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

To avoid the possibility of the appliance or plug receptacle getting wet, position the machine to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping into the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop," shown in the picture below, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source. Use the drip loop as a way to prevent GFCI and plug from getting wet.
The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle (or the connector, if an exten-sion cord is used). This method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along the power cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER OPERATION
TOWING GUIDELINES
If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged replace entire tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer with a defective tow bar. There exists the possibility of the trailer separating from the towing vehicle.
Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating” (GVWR).
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow the mixer with defective hitches, cou-plings, chains etc.
CHECK the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
ALWAYS make sure the mixer is equipped with a “Safety Chain”.
ALWAYS attach trailer’s safety chain to the frame of towing vehicle.
ALWAYS make sure that the towing vehicle’s directional, backup, and brake lights are working properly.Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless otherwise posted for highway towing is 45 MPH, however before towing your mixer, check your local state, and county vehicle towing requirements. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in the DOWN position (mouth facing DOWN).
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF position.
Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench. Torque wheel lug nuts as described in the maintenance section of this manual.
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or jackknifing.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Check with your county or state safety towing regulations department before towing your mixer.
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the mixer on public roads, always make sure that the mixer towing components and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.
The following safety should be used when towing the mixer
23
193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER OPERATION
TOWING GUIDELINES
Tow Bar to Vehicle Connection (Coupler Only)
Mixer Tow Bar Vehicle Connection (Pintle & Loop)
Check the vehicle hitch ball, and mixer’s coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged before towing.
Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is equipped to handle either a pintle or loop type tow bar configuration.
After tow bar has been connected to mixer, secure either type of tow bar to the towing vehicle, following state and county towing regulations.
As a minimum, use a 1/2-inch bolt and nylock nut grade 5 when securing either tow bar to the towing vehicle.
Use only a 2-inch ball diameter (towing vehicle), this will match the mixer’s 2-inch coupler. Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition which can result in separation of the coupler and ball or ball failure.After tow bar has been connected to mixer, attach mixer’s coupler to the hitch ball on the towing vehicle securely and make sure the lock lever is in tight.

Ball Socket and Clamp Face MaintenanceIf the towing vehicle is equipped with a ball socket, smear socket periodically with multi-purpose grease. This will keep the ball socket well lubricated.
When parking or storing your mixer. Keep the coupler off the ground so dirt will not build up in the ball socket.
There are 2 grease fittings that will require lubrication. Lubricate these fittings once a week. Use lithium base grease, grade No.1.
Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Mixer)
Use Poleyrex EM (Exxon Mobil) or equalivant lubricant. Clean grease fitting, apply grease gun to fitting (1/2 shot). Remember too much grease or injecting grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking a minute or so to apply.
After every 3 months of operation, remove the hub dust cap and inspect the wheel bearings. Once a year, or when required, disassemble the wheel hubs remove the old grease and repack the bear-ings forcing grease between rollers, cone and cage with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing grease (never use grease heavier than 265 A.S.T.M. penetration (“No. 2.”)
Always wash drum out after each use.NEVER pour or spray water over the gas engine.
Then back-off the adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/4 turn or to the nearest locking hole or sufficiently to allow the wheel to rotate freely within limits of .001” to .010” end play. Lock the nut at this position. Install the cot-ter pin and dust cap, and tighten all hardware.
Fill the wheel hub with grease to the inside diameter of the outer races and also fill the hub grease cap. Reassemble the hub and mount the wheel. Then tighten the adjusting nut, at the same time turn the wheel in both directions, until there is a slight bind to be sure all the bearing surfaces are in con-tact.

The Tire Wear Troubleshooting table will help pinpoint the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
Tire Wear Troubleshooting
WEAR PATTERN CAUSE SOLUTION
Center Wear Over inflation Adjust pressure to particular load per the manufacturer.
Edge Wear Under inflation Adjust pressure to particular load per the manufacturer.
Side WearLoss of chamber or overload-ing
Make sure load does not exceed axle rating. Align wheels.
Toe Wear Incorrect toe-in Align wheels.
Cupping Out-of-balance Check bearing adjustment and bal-ance tires.
Flat Spots Wheel lockup & tire skidding
Avoid sudden stops when possible and adjust brakes.
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install an inter-tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in the inter-tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (break-off) with great force and can cause serious eye or bodily injury.
CAUTION
NOTE: ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
CAUTION
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components of the trailer. When specifying or replac-ing the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.
